Straight to the mental hospital and if he ever does recover, life without parole in prison. That's what I say.A federal judge determined Monday that the man accused of killing six in an Arizona shooting rampage is "getting better," further ruling that the suspect should continue to take anti-psychotic medications as his appeal works its way through the courts.U.S. District Court Judge Larry Burns said in a motion issued Monday that there was a "substantial probability" that Jared Lee Loughner will be restored to competency and be able to stand trial for his role in a mass shooting in January outside a Tucson supermarket. He refused to alter Loughner's current mental health treatment plan, pointing to his observations that the suspect has improved in recent months."There is overwhelming evidence that the defendant is getting better, not the least of which is the noticeable improvement in his appearance, demeanor and behavior since he was last in court," the judge said in his six-page order.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

ReplyDeleteOne of the myriad things wrong with the U.S. legal system. If he was so fucking crazy that he had to be treated for over a year to begin to show signs that he may become "sane" then he must have been too crazy to be held legally responsible. And if he's too crazy to be legally responsible, absent meds, he will probably have to be held in a facility to ensure his continuing to take those drugs. What a fucking waste of time and money, all in the name of revenge.
But he's demonstrated himself to be a danger to others. You call it revenge to keep him locked up? I call it defending society.
Deleteone bullet to the base of the skull. whatda think DC..you with me?
DeleteI agree DC
ReplyDeleteAs long as he "doesn't haz teh gunz," some here would be pleased with seeing Loughner walking the streets again.
ReplyDeleteExecute him, letting him live will not bring back the dead.
ReplyDeleteThat's law for ya..........

ReplyDeleteAnd exactly where and when did I say he should NOT be locked up? You do love to conflate, don't you?
"As long as he "doesn't haz teh gunz," some here would be pleased with seeing Loughner walking the streets again."
And just who the hell would, "some here", be, son?
"one bullet to the base of the skull. whatda think DC..you with me?"

Jake & tommy:
Thanks for your unfailing ability to demonstrate that at least some gunzloonz are just people who like to see others die.
